SCHEDULE 3 - DISCOUNT RATE FOR PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES PROGRAM ndash DELMARVA MARYLAND
1) The initial (unadjusted) Discount Rate for Residential Service Customers served under Schedules R R-TOU-ND and DPL Maryland Electric and Non-Residential Customers Type I and Type II served under Schedules SGS-S GS-SH GS-WH ORL TN and OL and SGS-S LGS-S and GS-P respectively and Hourly Priced Customers served under schedules LGS-S GS-P and GS-T of the Retail Electric Service Tariff is calculated as follows
a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs
4) The Discount Rate (after the first year of service) is derived by updating the initial rate calculated above and adding the Reconciliation component

a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs

a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs
4) The Discount Rate (after the first year of service) is derived by updating the initial rate calculated above and adding the Reconciliation component

SCHEDULE 3 - DISCOUNT RATE FOR PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES PROGRAM ndash DELMARVA MARYLAND
1) The initial (unadjusted) Discount Rate for Residential Service Customers served under Schedules R R-TOU-ND and DPL Maryland Electric and Non-Residential Customers Type I and Type II served under Schedules SGS-S GS-SH GS-WH ORL TN and OL and SGS-S LGS-S and GS-P respectively and Hourly Priced Customers served under schedules LGS-S GS-P and GS-T of the Retail Electric Service Tariff is calculated as follows
a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs
4) The Discount Rate (after the first year of service) is derived by updating the initial rate calculated above and adding the Reconciliation component
5) The Discount Rate is as follows

a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs
4) The Discount Rate (after the first year of service) is derived by updating the initial rate calculated above and adding the Reconciliation component

a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules

SCHEDULE 3 - DISCOUNT RATE FOR PURCHASE OF RECEIVABLES PROGRAM ndash DELMARVA MARYLAND
1) The initial (unadjusted) Discount Rate for Residential Service Customers served under Schedules R R-TOU-ND and DPL Maryland Electric and Non-Residential Customers Type I and Type II served under Schedules SGS-S GS-SH GS-WH ORL TN and OL and SGS-S LGS-S and GS-P respectively and Hourly Priced Customers served under schedules LGS-S GS-P and GS-T of the Retail Electric Service Tariff is calculated as follows
a) The Uncollectible Expense Component percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier uncollectible expense associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule The Late Payment Revenue percent is calculated by dividing the Electric Supplier Late Payment Revenue associated with each rate schedule by the electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for that rate schedule
b) The Program Development and Operation Cost Expense Component percent is calculated by amortizing the estimated programming testing and other information technology costs directly associated with COMAR 2053 over a two year period The annual amortization cost by type is divided by the estimated number of choice accounts to derive at an annual cost per customer The estimated kWh by type are multiplied by the supply rate for that type to calculate the annual supply revenue The Program Development and Operation Cost Component percent is derived by dividing the annual cost per customer by the annual supply revenue per customer
c) The Risk Component percent is set to zero at this time d) The initial Discount Rate is derived by adding the net
Uncollectible Expense Component (a) the Program Development and Operation Cost Component (b) and the Risk Component (c)
2) The Reconciliation Component is calculated on the Imbalance separately for residential and non-residential customers Imbalances are recorded in a balancing segment regulatory asset or regulatory liability and represent the differences between cumulative costs eligible for recovery and discount amounts for purchased receivables During its disposition an Imbalance earns interest at the same rate as is paid on customer deposits pursuant to Sections 20300104 and 20300204 of the Code of Maryland Regulations as determined annually by the Public Service Commission Such rate is adjusted for taxes when the Imbalance represents an under-collection of costs to the Company
Approved by Letter Order dated August 1 2017 Effective September 1 2017
The Reconciliation Component rate is calculated by dividing the Imbalance including interest earned or owed separately for residential and non-residential customers by the estimated electricity revenues billed for all Electricity Suppliers for those rate schedules
3) If there are unrecovered costs associated with the purchase of eligible Electricity Supplier receivables and an insufficient number of Electricity Suppliers are using Company consolidated billing to support the recovery of those costs the Company is permitted to impose a charge on Electricity Suppliers to recover such costs
4) The Discount Rate (after the first year of service) is derived by updating the initial rate calculated above and adding the Reconciliation component
